Round 12 vs the Dragons

[age.s]

I thought Wallace was due back this week. Am I misremembering or has his prognosis changed?

An unchanged side!

My recollection was that they said he could miss 1 - 2 games. This will be the second game.

Win well this week and Wal doesn't come back imo

Same team 2 weeks in arow. Miracles happen

That would probably be the right move, but I think he will still come back. I think Hook still values his experience.

I wish. Imo he shouldn’t be coming back at all, we won’t drop him though.

He'll be back. You just wouldn't risk him before a bye. I'm far from convinced he isn't our best option at 9 when healthy. Katoa's day will come.

Me too. We lost our way a bit with Katoa either way the experience is good for him

James Hooper has Nathan Cleary as a $1.04 odds to be the NSW #7 if he plays decently this weekend. He seems to think hes already in and only misses out if heplays himself out of his jersey.

Yet Maloney looks destined to miss out. Fittlers using his defence as the excuse. But Hooper reckons it's more about bringing in more guys not associated with the Blues over the past 12 years. Atleast in the spine.

Pretty funny that this year Origin experience counts against you. Also that Cordner will be picked as caotain despite being more cancerous to NSW than even Pearce.

There has been talk of NSW rebuilding from the ground up. This smells of either newspaper talk (to build up the hype) or a smokescreen. I'm sure Qld are pissing themselves laughing.

 

[GongPanther]

They have more rumours these blokes than you're publication of the New Idea. Personally I find origin grossly over-rated. A place where coaches tend to play 'favourites'. Give me club footy any day of the week, or internationals.

During SOO period,I avoid all of the footy shows on Nine and Fox for the obvious reason that everything else is a second thought whilst they recirculate and regurgutate everything ad nausium. To put it simply,it's a headache.

The ground needs bigger hills to accomadate bigger crowds. Or a whole new ground.

That's not true. The only issue was the game being so stop start. Other than 2 rookie mistakes we win 4 tries to 0 as well.

Theres now a supposed leaked side that has Maloney and Keary as the halves.

So our development of the hslves will supposedly be around a player who wanted to plsy for the opposition.

The leaked side is fine other than Keary. Not what others wanted. But the only terrible decision is developing a guy that didn't grow up dreaming to play for us

That's f**king stupid. I'd take Brooks before Keary just on the fact he's a QLDer.

 

[mxlegend99]

Yeah you would think passion for the jersey would be an important part of building a nee culture.

Freddy said he won't pick blokes with contract uncertainties and also wants to try and build the right culture like you've mentioned. So it clearly has to mean more to the players than the $$$. Having a guy like Keary goes against everything he's said he wants to achieve off field.

There was plenty of times he wasn't in dummy half. He did plenty of good things don't get me wrong but some stuff still to work on

 

[age.s]

Other than the development implications for Cleary I really don't care. NSW gonna NSW.
